Hitler's Second Life Sims

Hitler has been in Second Life for some time. Back in the days of high land prices, good concurrency, and thriving sales for his line of Neko Ears.

Lately, though, things have been pretty tough for Hitler, and his Sim managers.

Thanks to the many Second Life and Opensim Bloggers out there, whose experiences I have taken and shoe horned into 4 minutes.

Mentioned in this video:

- Zonja Capalini, writer of The Openspace Fiasco well over a year ago and still gets comments. Presents stunning media of what Opensim is capable of. When Zonja writes an article, it pretty much becomes the definitive reference on the subject.

- Tateru Nino, "Dwell On It" is the go-to blog for News about Second Life and Linden Labs. Don't blink or you'll miss the deep insights. I also read the comics.

- Ener from iliveisl. If there was reporting from the Opensim coal face, this is it. Everything Opensimulator gets funneled here. Every written sentence has considered meaning. Every image is thought about. Probably the best documented history of Opensim from a user perspective.

- Prokovy Neva. Vitriolic blogs, but but a lot of insight. Can cause the reader into introspection. Sees the simple pure beauty that Second Life's residents are capable of creating.

Plus all the other bloggers not mentioned but I read regularly. I also can't post comments to them all, but I am there....reading.

This video is a parody and takes some material from Constantin Film's Downfall movie, about Adolf Hitler and his final days.

Good job. Sadly a little too close to the truth to be truly funny.

[breebw]

@observer345 Yes, much of this video is based on mine and others real life experiences in Second Life. Some have shed tears over losing quite a bit of money, time, and created content.

Some have contacted me and said that got a laugh from this though, and there is an important lesson in that fact. Cry at loss, but move on and grow.

2011 will be the year Linden attempts to undercut retailers and push content sales to their XStreet system. Linden earn big money from that. The story continues..

Prokofy, a Linden sock puppet! O_o... someone is asking for decapitation... :-)

[breebw]

@rvkan I do feel like someone waiting on death row :) The underlying meaning I had in mind was that Hitler was prone to making false accusations to those he did not agree with. The inspiration for that part comes from the Seinfeld Episode "The Soup Nazi". When the Soup Nazi's store closes he "goes to Argentina". Subtle meanings underneath.

[ZonjaCapalini]

LMAO! :-) What a pleasant surprise, to find my name at the end of the video! :-)

[breebw]

@ZonjaCapalini A fair chunk of the video is dedicated to the OpenSpace saga, and hence the content is sourced from your writings(That 66% is correct I hope!! :). The intention of this video is also sourced from yours and a few other blogs. While the video seems irreverent or trivial, its foundation lies on some fairly powerful writing. It is heartening to see people go on to create such striking work in Opensimulator. And your work is some of the most striking examples of Opensim as a media.

WoW this is so true about why is Second Life going down the drain,Also this is some of the main reasons why i am leaving Second Life and going back to EQII

[iggyono]

best "Hitler meme" yet about SL...though I imagine the Lindens in the Fuhrerbunker as it all falls apart...

[EpitathTourist]

Lol, this is amazing.

[grailchaser]

"Everyone who uses a Female Avatar or is a Furry leave the room."

Lol. There goes 75% of the SL population! :)

[fawnfromdown]

lmfao hilarious

[ZonjaCapalini]

@breebw You're too kind :-) My comment was posted before you added the detailed description to the video. If people had not donated fantastic stuff for Condensation (your own Gasworks, and lately Omurtag's incredible islands), I'd have had little to film.

Re the video: I've watched it several times, the part that sticks more to my mind is when it reads "I see it all now. We trusted the visionary, and fell into his honey trap". How sadly true, how sadly true...
